The Edu Ascent Competition returns!

Fire up your hard drives! The SketchUp Education Team is proud to announce that the EDU Ascent Competition will be returning for its second year to showcase the best work of the SketchUp education community at this year’s 3D Basecamp in Palm Springs, California!

3D Basecamp is where SketchUp professionals, enthusiasts, and thought leaders gather to teach, learn, and share creative inspiration. We may be a bit biased, but we think it’s the best week of the year.

Are you a university student who thinks and dreams in SketchUp? If so, we want to see your best work! The Ascent Student Competition is where you will get the chance to show off your design expertise to a panel of industry professionals.

Are you a K-12 educator using SketchUp to inspire young minds in your classroom? If so, we've got a competiton just for you. The Ascent Educator Competition is your opportunity to present your best project-based SketchUp lesson plan!

Want to know the best part? The top three finalists in each category will be treated to an all-expense paid trip to present their work and experience the magic of 3D Basecamp 2018 in Palm Springs, California, September 22-24th! Oh, and one more thing: the winner from each category will also be going home with a grand prize of $1,000!

Think you've got what it takes? It's time to let your creativity flow -- all submissions are due by June 30th, 2018!

It’s time to ditch the grade, and grab the glory!

Now for the fine print… Be sure to check out the EDU Ascent Competition official rules page for submission guidelines, contest rules, and eligibility requirements.
